Hazards

Strong Atlantic Ocean swells and choppy conditions create unpredictable wave patterns and undertowRocks and reef breaks near launch areas require careful entry and exit planningCold Canary Current water temperatures and powerful offshore winds can quickly push riders out to seaSparse rescue infrastructure in remote Dakhla area means limited emergency support

Launch notes

Launch from sandy beach areas during lower tides to avoid rocky outcrops; NE/N winds provide the most consistent launch conditions from the beach's orientation.

Crowd & etiquette
